I haven't heard much discussion here about the ballot initiatives for the upcoming election.

Here is a list of the initiatives , with a short description:   http://as.sdsu.edu/rockthevote/california.html

i'd suggest reading up on them.  Any feedback?

First, read this fro wikipedia:

A spoiler is a summary or description of a narrative (or part of a narrative) that relates plot elements not revealed early in the narrative itself. Moreover, because enjoyment of a narrative sometimes depends upon the dramatic tension and suspense which undergird it, this early revelation of plot elements can "spoil" the enjoyment that some consumers of the narrative would otherwise have experienced.


In short, a plot element, or fact you don't see coming, or expect, or a fact not made obvious.
I.E.  "Rosebud is a sled"  (Citizen Caine)
Princess Leia is really Luke's sister.  (Return of the Jedi)
V'ger is really Nasa Space probe Voyager VI  (Star Trek)
Mohinder Suresh  Discovrs a way to give powers to anyone.   (Heroes)

Okay, now that's explained, first up:


Daniel Plainview  Finds a way to steal the oil from Eli Sundays land.  (There will be Blood).

Well, most of the new shows / episodes of returning shows have either started, or will be back in the next two weeks.  What new shows are you watching?  How about some of you're returning favorites?

Tomorrow I go to the hospital for surgery, so I will be off the boards for a while.  It may only be there or four days, but may be longer depending on how things turn out.  So in the mean time, keep:

Hurtin' and healin',
Posting moar kitties,
Carry on those great debate of the boards, like the virtues of corn, or if pie should be banned,
Share your favorite ___________,
and most of all,  behave.   That's right!  I'm talking to you! >.>  That's right the guy using the Dell over there!

G.I.R

I originally posted this question on the Fanimafia Back-up boards, and decided to bring the question here since the boards are back up.

So are you ready for the end of analog T.V come February 17 2009? (Not as if your reminded every two or three minutes while your watching T.V.)
     Did you send away for your $40.00 Converter box coupons? Have you got yourself a SDTV or HDTV television? Got digital cable or satellite? How are you going to record stuff now?
     Well?

Read all about it  :D

Rules:

Post a word, (no numbers or other characters) name or set of letters.  Try to keep it under 12 letters.
Next person posts what the acronym for those letters are (real, or make up your own)

i.e:  DOA

Dead on Arrival

Then post a new set of letters or word for the next player.



First up...


FANIME:

Does anyone else play Pinmame / Visual Pinball or Future Pinball?

[chairs]

So since I did,t make it this year, how about telling me (and others that couldn't make it to Fanime this year) about what's going on.

See anything cool in the Dealers room?  Run into any friends you haven't seen in a while?  How'd the Swap-Meet go?  Any chairs thrown?  ;D

That's over ten-million times the original cover price!

There used to be a topic on this, but I can't find it, So this seemed to be a good place to start a new thread.

What are some of your favorite commercials or ad campaigns? (T.V, Radio, etc).

Here's a Classic Geico Commercial:  Squirrels

Post the name of a well known dead person, defunct company, discontinued item, or no longer used / dead character, and the next person post what that person / company, et al would be doing now (either funny, or speculative).

Example: If Samuel Morse were alive today he would:

(and the reply might be...)
... be working on an Internet technology that sends data in the form of dots and dashes.  ;D

get the idea?

Okay, first:

If Abraham Lincoln were alive today:

Macworld Expo is coming up again at Moscone Center  in San Francisco January 14-17 2008.  Who knows what the big show item(s) will be this year  (last year the Apple T.V. and iPhone).  Any expectations of what's going to be new there? (maybe a new iPhone?).

What Websites or forums do you frequent?  Any particular site that provides information, services or somewhere to vent an opinion?
Perhaps a good site for torrents or videos?  Share some of your favorites wheather it's something common like Youtube, and Wikipedia or less known like Game Station X, and what it's about or why you like it.

["Attend, don't offend."]

Well, it's that time of year again.  The weather is getting warmer, the humidity is up, and many people will soon gather into closer quarters at the SJCC for Fanime 2006.
   And altho it has been brought up before, There always seems to be individuals that need to be reminded, or made aware of controlling their "Fan-boy Funk".  Here is a list of warning signs to take notice of...


   If you just rode into town, after a ten hour road trip to Fanime with five of your friends in that small car without air conditioning, you may have Fan-boy Funk.

   If its day two of Fanime and you get on the elevator with a group of people, that immediately get off at the first available stop, leaving you behind, you may have Fan-boy Funk.

   If your over night kit consists of a comb, and cologne,  you might have Fan-boy Funk.

   "Why do birds suddenly disappear, every time you are near?"  It's not a bad omen,  you may have Fan-boy Funk.

   When you walk thru the concourse,  do people keep checking the bottoms of their shoes?   Then you may have Fan-boy Funk.

   If on Sunday your still wearing the same clothes you wore on Thursday,  you may have Fan-boy Funk.

   If you pulled an all-nighter in the hentai room,  you may have Fan-boy Funk.
   
   That vendor in the dealers room you just bought that DVD from with tears in his eyes.  Were those tears of joy over a cash purchase, or is it  Fan-boy Funk?

   If you are in a video room, watching the second story in  Katsuhiro Otomo's "Memories", do people turn around and point at you?   Then you may have Fan-boy Funk.

   If you haven't bathed since Wednesday,  you may have Fan-boy Funk.

   If people start saying to you "You stink!",   GET A CLUE!!!  YOU'VE GOT FAN-BOY FUNK!

So remember boys, and girls: "Attend, don't offend."

I'm just getting ready to leave for this years "Comic Con International" (aka San Diego Comic Con).

Anyone else going?

Okay, We've discussed the most disturbing (non hentai) anime, so on a lighter note, what animes do you find to be very funny?
Personal choices (once again, not in any order)...

Dr. Slump (God! I want to find more of this!)
Excel Saga
Dragon Half OAV's
Jungle wa Itsumo Hale no chi Gu, (esspecialy the first OAV set!)
Azumanga Diaoh

So, what anime do you find funny? :lol:
